Try a few thousands.

Sounds like a marketing service had the idea to "simplify git", the presentation sounds like they haven't heard of git flows, and no offline mode is total no-go for me.

> Think about this: if your Internet connection went down, could you continue to do your job

Reads like "don't you guys have phones". My bet is it will be forgotten in a year.

After two years of using Teams daily I still cruelly Slack for a ridiculously long list of reasons. Teams is a casual chat product as best it doesn't belong to enterprise world.

No there was a long blessed period of time between the solving of spam and the introduction of altered results.

I've used many frameworks and in my opinion Svelte+Sveltekit has the very best simplcity over power ratio. If you don't mind job offers being quite scarce for this stack right now that's about the best choice. You can do the Svelte tutorial for a sneak peek of this.

You can have any kind of backend with Sveltekit, and call it from client or server (or both). You can even completely bypass sveltekit per request.

> He asked us to use only his first name to protect his identity

There was 80 persons inside one of the most powerful room of the world so they just use his first name to protect his identity.

Amazon answer according to the article is :

> Unfortunately, [the ruling] means we have no other choice than to extend the temporary suspension of activity in our French distribution centers while we assess the best way to operate with regards to the court of appeal’s decision

So I'm not sure how it's related to what you say. There are a lot of similar businesses that can continue shipping as usual and I would be very surprised if the Law has checked all of them for safety measures respect. It is highly probable that many of them don't do things correctly yet nobody cares. In the end this is typical of the French government hypocrisy that is going for the big (foreign) one just for the sake of symbolism. Cdiscount is a huge French Amazon clone that can still operate as usual, I can bet some of their employees are also at risk.

> The company is not your family.

Yes, and it's also not your friend. That's an easy mistake to make. You owe your company nothing more than work and loyalty.

Make a wild guess then multiply it by a number between 2 (10+ years of experience) and 4 (newbie). Works pretty well.

I have been there since the old times of IRC and I have never seen anything promised.

That's funny because I've been running Debian Sid for 15 years as my main OS doing weekly updates and the two single cases of breakage I've seen were glibc6 transition (which was announced and expected) and proprietary video card drivers. You must be thinking of Ubuntu specifically.
